State Bernoulli's equation for unsteady motion of an irrotational, incompressible, inviscid fluid subject to a conservative body force −∇χ.
A long vertical U-tube of uniform cross section contains an inviscid, incompressible fluid whose surface, in equilibrium, is at height h above the base. Derive the equation
hdt2d2ζ+gζ=0
governing the displacement ζ of the surface on one side of the U-tube, where t is time and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
